Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - Wikipedia
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) causes depression in certain people, generally living in areas where winters are long and harsh. It is believed to be caused by light depravation, which can be cured by spending short periods of time under fluorescent lamps with a color temperature within a certain range. Often the same type of lamps used to grow plants indoors are effective against this disorder. |
